Topic: Special Goal (Read 1501 times)

First match for me at Goodison was 2003, Everton were pretty pedestrian, Birmingham was the opposition and had a few looks at goal - maybe they deserved a draw. The difference from a 0-0 was the eventual goal scorer, the spark, Wayne Rooney. Just like today.

I bought the kit top at the store that day, the '03 "Kejian" shirt. Wore that today while my son and I celebrated the goal.

Rooney will not replace Lukaku's goals, but for me, I'm enjoying the romance of it all. Hope you feel the same.

Special start to the season.

his header was very, very clever and the type of header he is known for producing. a really well taken goal to finish off a lovely move, especially Sandro selling his defender completely and buying DCL the space for the cross.

hopefully it settles Wayne as well as he won't be looking for the first goal and worrying about it not coming

Like how he starting surging to the penalty spot before Sandro turned and spread the ball out to DCL. He knows the game, he knew where to be.

*edit* But won't disagree SP, this was a very average team performance, no indication that we can make it beyond 7th yet.

But the Rooney winner is the "heart, not head" stuff that keeps us so enthralled to EFC.

You make it sounds like he do this all the time and this was only just very very clever. ..

I think it was one of the best headers there is, it was brilliant. Maybe it's because I don't watch too many Manchester United games....

Great cross from DCL, immediately you can tell Stoke defenders are not going to be there. In a split second, you see there is a runner in blue that is tracking the ball perfectly... then I realized it was Rooney; all he had to do was cushion and direct it. Just a few seconds can really make your weekend!

I can't really believe there are people in here who are trying to undermine Rooney's goal and say it is very ordinary and common for him. And because of that he is not to be given too much credit for his goal.
